Hey Kenny, we are staying offsite in Sept. Do you know if a family member can use my ‘old’ magic band? I actually have a few, one from a night stay at AoA and the other two are our original bands we had from a trip then they issued bands to AP holders. Seems like they are handing these things out like candy…but I guess they for sure make it up in these sales :-\
Thanks!!

You can reuse your MagicBand, but it can’t be reassigned to a different family member.

Hi Kenny – Is there any option to buy the bands online or at a Disney Store? We will be arriving to the Orlando area (staying offsite) the night before our first park visit and would love to have our wristbands before entering the park…Any information that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately you can’t buy them anywhere else at this time. Try arriving at one of the parks that allows them at Ticket Booths well before opening.
